Today, the Apple Store and Verizon are opening up pre-orders
to everyone. Apple's
online store now has purchase options for both the 16GB and 32GB Verizon
iPhone 4 devices right next to purchase options for the same phone on AT&T's
network. Those who pre-order a Verizon iPhone 4 today can expect the phone to
ship by February 18.

IFixit earlier
this week cracked open the CDMA version of the iPhone 4 and found that it
incorporates Qualcomm's
MDM6600 "dual mode" CDMA/GSM chip (the GSM portion of the chip,
however, is disabled). That has lead some to speculate that the next iteration
of the iPhone could very well support CDMA and GSM networks making it easier
for customers to switch from one carrier to another and simplify production
demands for Apple.
